(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I was looking at all the recent updates and I was recollecting how far I have seen the site progress through the past two years. Of course, there are plenty more people that joined wayyyyyyyyyyyyy before me, but I do not think I am considered a newfag anymore . This had me think about why I joined NextGenUpdate in the first place.

The oldest memory of NGU I have was finding the site. I was looking for all the biggest gaming forums. It turned out that I had already registered about 2 months prior but I did it because I was trying to get into the gaming scene and that meant joining gaming communities.

I remember looking for COD 4 challenge lobbies and early MW2 challenge lobbies at first. I had no idea what other content the site had at the time. All I knew was NGU = Challenge Lobbies, all because I was a nub. All I thought was, "Kewl!!! Challenge lobby, brahhhhh!!! Damn why you gotta pay for dis shizzzz???".

Since then, I have grown to enjoy the community and to make some friends that I feel as though I know personally, such as ALT. I have learned more information on this site than I have ever learned in any classroom. Whether it was useless information, or the latest headliners for the PS3, etc., I used NGU as my primary source of information. I have shared some of my personal content with the site and have enjoyed the content of others. The SB could, honestly, entertain me for days. I have discovered new hobbies that I enjoy because of NGU such as Social Engineering, Hacking, Programming, and hey... even being social. NGU is full of so many unique characters! I no longer have my PS3, so the site doesn't serve as much purpose as it used to for me. But I can not get tired of this place. NGU is like my second home and I am damned proud of it.

Sorry if this thread seems a little hard to follow. I just got off work have been up for 26 straight hours. Please forgive my fallacies.

My question for you is: What made you want to join NextGenUpdate?

Joined in 08 right when the site was starting up member "792".

I was just looking for that next site to get active on since a older forum I was apart of died, But right after I joined here I got busy in real life so I never posted anything but the start of this year, I started getting active again.

Because this website is helpful and has lots off good members

For hacks and cheats!

I joined for the food, folks and fun. I also joined for all of the awesome PS3 game saves.

Definitely looking for the MW2 prestige glitch, also some challenge lobbies for teh lulz.

I joined so I can get closer to Lovol :dumb:

I originally joined NGU a while back on my original account(forgot the info) for Metal Gear Online lagswitch/glitch tutorials. Been here for everything else(Mostly partying up with players in CoD titles).

joined for ps3 mods really and meeting other decent gamers

I had been told about game saves and that made me search for NGU, then i knew someone who had signed up to it and havent got off this site since ! It is great for the game saves but not liking the new lay out, but fortunately still has some awesome game saves so it is all good
